Polarization models for planets

Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)

Reflected light from giant planets is polarized by scattering, offering the possibility of investigating atmospheric properties with polarimetry.

Description

Polarimetric measurements are available for the atmospheres of solar system planets, and instruments are being developed to detect and study the polarimetric properties of extrasolar planets. We investigate the intensity and polarization of reflected light from planets in a systematic way with a grid of model calculations.

Comparison of the results with existing and future observations can be used to constrain parameters of planetary atmospheres.
